Editor:

I read with amazement that renters' rights advocates were outraged over Lease Buyout Now unfurling a sign at a football game last year.

Have we reached a point where we think that individuals are incapable of making personal decisions about what is best for them — that we should somehow protect them from what they might see?

Lease Buyout Now should not be in the position of having to defend its actions any more than renters' rights advocates should be if they decided to unfurl a sign.
